Ok I know I'm new here but I have been following this site for a while and I've fallen in love with this game.

So lately I've been experimenting with the tags that make up graphic sprites (like in mike mayday's version)

But one question came to my mind. It's either possible or it's not.

Basiclly I was curious if there is a way to set up corpse tag (you know, for to show the sprite of an animal when it's killed or when a Dwarf dies in battle ect.)

I know there is tags for zombies and skeletons like in the sample of the elephant here.

Code: [Select]

[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:ELEPHANT]
[DEFAULT:ANIMALS:0:7:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
[CHILD:ANIMALS:1:7:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
[STANDARD:ANIMALS:2:7:AS_IS:ZOMBIE]
[STANDARD:ANIMALS:3:7:AS_IS:SKELETON
But what would it take to make a corpse tag say for the elephant?
 I would think AS_IS:CORPSE but then again, I haven't exactly found the origin for the zombie and skeleton tag either. ^^;

So if anyone has some advice on the matter here, it would be of some help for me as I continue to experiment.

Right now, graphics are only possible for creatures (dwarfs, humans, kobolds, animals, etc). So until Full Graphic Support (or at least, Extended Graphic Support) is in from the voting thread, you can only give creatures any sprites. Everything else will come from the data\art folder.

As for zombies and skeletons, they're considered creatures and not ambulant corpses.

Ah I sort of figured that might be the reason considering that this is still in it's Alpha stages. But I just had to be sure.

This helps me out alot so thanks for the information!

I use graphics only thus I gave each creature the same tile and made it tile to look like a pile of bones. It looks nicely.
